New ClariLink SIP-enabled WAN link controller recognized for its innovation in providing reliable and optimized IP connectivity for SIP-based applications

Los Angeles, CA –September 2nd, 2009 – Ecessa, a leader in affordable WAN link controllers for small-to-medium sized enterprises (SMEs), has won the ITEXPO West 2009 Best of Show Award for the most innovative product. Ecessa is being recognized for its new ClariLink SIP-enabled WAN link controller which manages multiple public IP connections, providing automatic network connection failover in the event of a service provider outage, and link optimization by continually monitoring each connection for latency, jitter, and congestion, and other QoS capabilities.

ClariLink eliminates the Internet as a point of failure. By continually measuring each connection, ClariLink automatically directs traffic to the connection with the least amount of latency, jitter and congestion to improve VoIP call quality. For SIP applications, it automatically selects the best performing connection when VoIP calls are initiated, and switches calls over the IP connections on-the-fly in the event of a connection failure – without dropping the calls.

ClariLink allows small-to-medium size enterprises (SMEs) to deploy low-cost broadband connections such as Cable, DSL, Fiber, WiMAX, wireless and other connections to provide network redundancy. This capability ensures that broadband connections, known for being less reliable than dedicated circuits, have the reliability required for business-critical applications such as VoIP. Now, SMEs can deploy affordable SIP trunks and SIP phones to remote workers without losing critical voice trunks due to IP connection failures.

“We are very excited to see that the time we spent talking with, and listening to our SME customers and partners, along with product development focused on meeting their needs for reliable and affordable connectivity over the Internet is being recognized by the ITEXPO West 2009 Best of Show for product innovation,” said Ron Thomas, President and CEO for Ecessa. “In deploying ClariLink, IT managers can be assured that their SIP-based applications such as VoIP, conference services and call centers achieve reliable and optimized IP connectivity over any Internet connection, including cost-effective broadband connections, if expensive dedicated circuits are beyond their budgets.”
